Heh, good thing Bay is being consistent with his total vacuum of talent. So, NASCAR gets involved somehow and Wallstreet gets bombed, because...apparently the Decepticons are short on space cash...? Either way, I think it's pretty obvious that Bay knows how to market to the exact kind of people who will continue to watch this schlop. Oh, and you guys who are going, "dude, it's just a toy commercial, what are you expecting brah?" ? What the fuck does it matter? Coming from dubious source material is not a license to overlook BASIC tenants of filmmaking and storytelling. People come the fuck on... It's not like these are some student films where you're supposed to be amazed it got made at all. They blew hundreds of millions making it; you're probably going to pay upwards of 20 dollars to go see it. There is NO fucking reason for you not to demand BETTER from all that! You can make a good movie out of anything, and vice-versa. Ever actually read the book "The Godfather" was based on? It's not all that good, but put it in the hands of Francis Ford Coppola, and you get one of the greatest films of all time! "Bonfire of the Vanities" was heralded as one of the most important books of the modern age; they turned it into a movie starring Tom Hanks, and it SUCKED! I've seen SHITTY movies based on the life of Christ! I've seen EXCELLENT movies based on funny-books about a rich guy dressing up as a rodent to beat up bad guys because he misses his mommy! "It's just a toy commercial"! FINE, so was the show and the comics, but at least THOSE rose to the level of decent pulp-scifi; it is NOT too much to ask for a multi-hundred-million-dollar feature film to be at LEAST as good as THAT. So the writers suck ass at their jobs? But the seeds of an interesting story are here right? Alien robots! Machine planets! Intergalactic civil war, thousand upon thousands of years old! That's epic, out-there, bid-idea stuff! Why the FUCK am I supposed to be "more interested" in a succession of cliched romantic-comedy bullshit about whether the kid from Disturbia gets to fuck the most unlikeable, overrated sex symbol since Denise Richards, at LEAST? This isn't some Godzilla movie where the monsters can't speak, so you need this big human story to further the plot, the Transformers can SPEAK, they can EMOTE, they have PERSONALITIES! Stupid, thin, borderline RACIST personalities, but why are the robots the C-story in their own fucking movie? And yes, this is movie where you'd expect at least the action to be decent...but it isn't. Because this is a Michael Bay movie...so everything is jumping around like it's on it's fortieth Red Bull...at sunset...through a lensflare...partially veiled by a mournfully billowing American flag. I could go on for another hour about the film's endless problems, but the root of the matter all stems from one basic source: Michael Bay, is wrong for this material. Believe it or not, figures like Optimus Prime or fucking He-Man occupy the same headspace for the generation that made this series popular and long-lasting as Robin Hood or Davy Crockett did for their parents and grandparents generations. To put something like that on-screen, you need a preserved sense of childlike awe, or something resembling an artistic soul. Bay has NEITHER, he's the biggest hack since "hot coffee".
Jesus Fuckin' Ass Christ! Not another unreasonable fight in a densely populated urban center that will cause billions of American taxpayer dollars worth of damage. Why can't they just go do all the fighting out in the desert like a bunch of bad asses... or like the Hulk. The desert is so awesome. It looks like a nuclear wasteland dotted with small, abandoned, rusting towns. All you need is a bunch of biker gangs and raging, lunatic, religious fanatics. Oh shit! That's Fallout.

The main problem I had with the second film was the action scenes were so shaky I couldn't see a damn thing. So when not even the action scenes are good the film is just a pile of shit.
[QUOTE=Butthurter;24082122]Here's how they're going to replace Megan Fox: Shia stumbles across a troubled blonde during a fight, they both run from the scene together, explosions, jets flying by, more explosions, offscreen robots firing explosives, the end.

[editline]11:40AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Revan564;23946139]The story of both the movies was pretty much, [B]"EXPLOSION, BAD COMEDY, MORE EXPLOSIONS, EVEN MORE EXPLOSIONS, LINKIN PARK SONG, CREDITS."[/B] Honestly, the second movie made me lose hope for any upcoming Michael Bay movies.[/QUOTE] Please kind sir tell me why you even indulge in action movies if you don't like LOTS of explosions. If you want a deep and long story I suggest you go deeper...Into a different genre.

It's one thing for a film to have camp and lack depth but have it's own spark of brilliance. This movie series does not only have a stupid, shallow sense of humor, but lacks any semblance of coherence in a story (the plotholes in this movie are simply massive), and for the kind of material Bay is given to work with, everything is totally squandered on a series of subplots with useless human characters and army scenes that serve no purpose but to let Bay pretend he ISN'T doing a film and a franchise he openly despises. I mean, come on, listen to this synopsis of events in "Fallen": "Sam Witwicki is trying to live a normal life, heading off to college. It's a move that strains his relationship with both his parents and his girlfriend Mikaela, already under stress owing to their oversight by the secret military-" *RECORD SKIPPING NOISE* I'm sorry, I'm sorry...Do you CARE? Does ANYONE going to see this FUCKING CARE about what happens to douchebag Peter Parker, the walking real-doll, the cut-rate men in black, the tacked-on army guys or any of the useless human characters overflowing these films? I really didn't think so. You guys claiming you're here to see giant robots just blowing shit up for two hours aren't getting half the ride you THINK you are. By the way, does anyone else realize that "The Fallen" was supposed to be a figure for the Transformers somewhat similar to the Devil? Of course, this approach is never even referred to, since that would be too interesting, and for all Bay tries to "build him up" to the anti-climax, a twenty-second deciding battle in which he gets bitchslapped around into oblivion is unacceptable for how limp the rest of this shit was. Although, at that point I'll say I was MORE than ready for this to end. Transformers 2 went and did the impossible feat of having such bad action scenes that battles between 3-story-tall robots had become exhausting and dull. That's how far this has sunk.

Maybe this time they won't have as many GIANT ROBOT WRECKING-BALLS.
Jesus christ Michael Bay, What the fuck did you do to those cars! Also if this is gonna be 'end of the world' type themed then count me out already, too many of those already, Thanks!

I was in Chicago when they were filming part of this. Got to see Shia LeBouf all 'bloodied' up and the like. It was kind of cool. As long as they get rid of Megan Fox, I'm set.

I'm just going to wait until the DVD comes out and the Rifftrax commentary gets released. it's the only reason to have the movies on DVD period.

[QUOTE=Fort83;24207039]Fuck yea, can't wait for this to come out to theaters, gonna be watching it the first day. Loved the first and second, and usualy thirds are also quite awesome. Sadly they fired Megan Fox, im not sad because she's hot and i'm sad because of the chemistry between her and shia, even though she sucks at acting. They should just kill off the character instead of replacing her with some model with no acting experience. For everyone else bitching about the movie saying it sucks, quit crying and overeating, it's just a fucking movie, you don't have to dig into it just to look for problems to bash it, it's for entertainment and it succeeds that doing that. Enjoy the acting and fun of the film.[/QUOTE] at least they are getting rid of most of the dorky comedy, or so they say

Surely whoever they replace her with is at least capable of THIS.

Transformers was bad I didn't see the second one due to the first one being so bad I don't expect this one will be any good either but it can't be [B]as[/B] bad as the second because this one doesn't have Megan Fox
I'll see this. I like fights.
